What does oxygen do? | 1. releases energy from food2. drives metabolic processes |
What does heat do? | 1. form of energy2. more heat means more chemical reactions |
What does pressure do? | Important for breathing. Oxygen exchange can't take place without it |
What is body temperature? | 98.6 F or 37 degrees C |
Homeostatis | stable internal environment |
Receptors | provides information about internal environment |
Effectors | Provides a means by which control center can cause a response. (Shivering causes chemical reactions causing heat.) |
